Zoom GFX-707

The Zoom 707 II is the slightly newer version of the 707. It has everything the 707 has plus the ability to insert a smart media card, which you can use to longer record samples, and/or exchange patches (the name given to the setting of the pedal, i.e. distortion, reverb settings etc...) on the internet. I bought the pedal several years ago when I had just started playing the guitar at a price of around 150 pounds. It comes with the unit itself and instruction manuals. If I remember correctly I had to purchase the power unit myself, but this was only around 5 pounds. The pedal can however be ... more

I bought my Zoom 707 on a whim, seeing it in a shop window, not too happy with what I had - and it was only 95 pounds. It is without doubt the best value piece of musical gear I have ever purchased. It continues to amaze me even after 2 and a half years of extensive use. Such a small box, it makes you wonder how on earth they fit it all inside! But Zoom have a rep for this kind of genius product. Before mentioning the wide range of effects, I'd say that my favourite feature of this little plastic godsend is the "jam" feature. You can record a short phrase (up to about 4 seconds) and loop it ... more

This pedal is seems to have it all. The boys at Zoom have yet again come up with another pedal crammed with effects. These range from powerful distortions that make you feel like a metal god when thrasing something out (well my mate does when he tries and play my guitar.....pure noise pollution!!!) too wahs via chorus and over wobbly effects along the way. This is the follow on pedal to the zoom 505 which was smaller than this and had less "noises" on offer. The 707 includes a foot expression pedal too which is quite sturdy and makes the pedal more fun to mess around with. The pedal comes ... more

I received a Zoom GFX-707 for Christmas several years ago, and thought when I first got it that it was the greatest thing ever. I spent days playing with all the different effects (usually creating the most distortion possible) and loved it. But as the years have drawn by and my playing and ear have improved I have come to realise that it really is quite limited. Lets start with the basics. It is a simple multi-FX guitar pedal with a range of pre-set and user definable patches (combinations of basic amp sounds and effects) and the nice addition of an expression pedal that allows you to easily ... more

I have had the Zoom GFX-707 now for many a moon, and it was a great buy at the time, as it went up in price due to demand just after i bought it. However the tide has gone, and the market has changed. The 707 is no longer the best product on the market, nor is it best value for money. It does have a multitude of effects, and is good fun, and given alot of tweaking, gives great sound. But the interface is complicated, and the gain between patches is not steady enough to switch quickly without blowing someones ears off with the next patch. All this is totally adjustable, and given a couple of ... more
